Good viewing options, horrible syncing options and overheating issues

by
brian mcawesome

This has been my go-to PDF reader for two years now, but unfortunately I have started running into a constant string of issues with the application. The Dropbox syncing option, in addition to requiring a system-wide (rather than file-specifc sync), often runs into internal server errors or, in general, simply fails to sync my files. This is unacceptable, since I rely on the application to store my notes in the cloud. Worse than this, however, is that I use the freehand option for notes, and I’ve found that if I leave open the freehand tool (to continue taking notes on the page), my iPad begins to heat up considerably and kill the battery. This is also unacceptable.

This is a shame, too, since this is the only application that has excellent cropping options and double-page viewing capability. But the application’s flaws are beginning to outweigh its virtues. I can no longer recommend it.

Please update Goodreader Windows USB program

by
John Lim 135

Love this app and its USB transfer program.

But recently the USB transfer program no longer works on 64 bit itune. Can the developer please release an update?

If you are looking for productivity, PC style file management, automated backup with PC and need a file system on iOS device, this would be the best few dollars spent in the AppStore! Developer regularly adds new functions too!

Great for tabletop roleplaying

My tabletop library is almost all PDFs now. This app lets me flip through and search multiple books at the table without carrying a heavy bag full of books. Highly recommended for this use case.
